I just read about this new product for the Mac called: PC Tools for the Mac (page 16 of the Oct. 1988 MacUser magazine). It has the following features/utilities: - UNDELETE "instead of merely guessing, it recovers data from even fragmented files." - HARD DISK BACKUP "fast & reliable, backs up yur data to disks or tape and is completely compatible under Multifinder." - DISK OPTIMIZER "Unfragments your files and improves hard disk performace." - SMART LOCATE DA Finds files fast. Search by filename or up to three key phrases. Transfer data from the located file into your word processor or spreadsheet." - FILE ENCRYPTION & COMPRESSION "Encrypt and shrink files and entire folders. Save disk space and keep your sensitive data secure. - DISK RECOVERY "Recover data from magnetically damaged diskettes and hard drives." - TRACK/BLOCK EDITOR "Examine virtually any disk and even repair bad blocks." I have learned that this is due out for release in mid-October. If anyone has any comments or insights on how good this package is (and if it's worth it), please post your replies. Thanks. Jim Collymore

It's supposed to arrive UPS some time next week. Looks like a good deal, even if 80% of the functionality was already added to CIIM 7.2. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ric COLOSUS WANTS TO TALK TO GUARDIAN Bretschneider He's busy at the moment, can you hold? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
